MONEY MARKET AND COLIMBECLAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The recent failures which followed each other so quickly have rendered discounters extremely cau tious before entering into new engagements. This prudence, if not carried too far, must have a very benEficial effect in weeding from the money market all doubtful paper; and imparting a feeling of ge neral confidence. To-day, therefore, although the number of applicants for monetary assistance has not been very n amorous, the brokers have shown their circumspection by not granting too easy faci lities to the general public, who are always ready when the opportunity presents itself to float their paper upon the market. Under those circumstances, firms of high commercial standing find no difficulty in obtaining accommodation upon three months' bills at 81 and 9 per cent, and bankers' acceptances of shorter date have also been negotiable at 8 per cent. A further sum of £37,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The Heels has arrived from New York with Xll,OOO, From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week have been unfavourable. The high rates current for money having in a great measure put a stop to speculative transactions in most kinds of goods. The embarrassment felt in commercial circles has also caused considerable caution on the part of manufacturers. At Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield prices, however, have been steady, with only a moderate inquiry for winter cloths. At Manchester a considerable decline has taken place in the value of both cloths and yarns, and buyers continue to exercise great reserve. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have remained without change of importance ; while in the hardware districts of Bir■ icingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, business has been conducted on a much more limited scale than is ordinarily the case at this season of the year, Twu At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were quoted 65f. 90c.—fiat. The Funds are per cent. lower than they were at the close of business on Saturday. Business is dull, and the few operations entered into produce a depressing influence, since they add to the supplies of stock in the hands of the dealers. The public are not purchasers to any extent; nor in the present situation of affairs, and at this season of the Year, are they likely t o afford the market any substantial support.

The country markets held on Saturday were by no means extensively supplied with English wheat. For all quali ties, however, the trade ruled heavy, and prices declined Is per quarter. The barley trade was in a sluggish state, at drooping currencies. Oats were rather cheaper ; and for beans, peas, and flour, the trade was very inactive. Advices from New York report but little inquiry for wheat, flour, and maize for export. On the Continent the corn trade getiterally is dull. But moderate supplies of home-grown produce were re ceived up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 17,606 quarters of wheat, 5,882 barley, 75,322 oats, 185 rye, 1,900 beans, 2,173 peas, 400 tares, 2,055 linseed, 21,632 oilseeds, 1,200 nalizo , , 225 sundry seeds, 201 sacks, and 2,825 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were but mo derate. Nearly the whole of the produce, however, wat. received in excellent condition. Although factors had or ders to purchase wbeat for seed the trade for all qualities of home-grown produce was in a most inactive state, and very little progress could be made with sales. At the close of business only a portion of the supply had been disposed of, at prices showing a reduction, compared with Monday last, of is per quarter. The supply 0 foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably large. Owing to the large number of cargoes off coast, and the high rate of money in the discount market, the trade ruled heavy for all descriptions, and a decline of ls. per quarter took place in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain moved off heavily, and prices had a downward tendency. There was a fair supply both of English and foreign barley on offer. The trade for malting, grinding, and dis tilling qualities was very inactive, and the prices realised were is. per quarter lower than on Monday last. The malt trade was dull, and a decline of is per guar tool; place in prices. The supply both of English and foreign °a's on sale was very large. There was decidedly less activity in the demsnd for nearly all descriptions. However, a fair amount of business was transacted, chiefly et a decline in prices of 61 per quarter. In the trade for beans there was lesss firmness. New qullities, however, supported previous rates, but old parcels declined in value ls. per quarter• CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a large supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day. The best beasts, sheep, and calves sold steadily, at full quotations; otherwise, the trade ruled heavy, on lower terms. The arrivals of bensts fresh up from our grazing districts were moderately extensive, but, for the most part, in mid dling condition. From Scotland the receipts were limited, but the supply from Ireland was on the increase. Prime Scots, &c., were in good request, at very full prices ; other wise the trade was heavy, at late rates. The top figures were 5s 2d to 5s 4d per Sibs. _ _ _ From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received 2,800 short horns, &e,; from other parts of England, 900 various breeds; from Scotland, 35 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 460 oxen and heifers. There was a full average number of sheep in the pens. Good and prime breeds were readily disposed of, at the ex treme prices of Monday last. Inferior stock was less active, at, in some instances, a decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. A few very superior Downs sold at 5s Bcl per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which was only moderate, changed hands slowly, at late rates, viz., from 4s to 5s per 81bs. There was an improved sale for pigs, on rather higher terms ; at least a moiety of the beasts and sheep here to-day were beneath the middle quality.

The trade, however, is not by any means active. The demand is, in a great measure, confined to good and fine samples, which find a ready sale at very full prices; but as regards inferior produce buyers show very little disposition to operate.

At the leading markets in the manufacturing districts a heavy fall has taken place in prices, and here some descriptions of wool exhibit a depre ciation in values, compared with the late highest point, of about 2d per lb. Colonial wool is also dull ; indeed, since the close of the public sales an unusually small amount of business has been transacted in this description by private contract, and the quotations have given way.

Examination of Muller at Bow Street this Day. The usual crowd assembled in Bow -street this morning to witness the arrival of Muller at the police-court. On the arrival of the prisoner's van at about halt-past 10 the rush towards it was terrific, and on Muller making his appear ance, instead of the hissing and hooting he received cn Monday week, he was to-day received with loud cries of "Hurrah, hurrah I" Muller was placed in the dock at a few minutes past 11 before Mr Flower, the sitting magistrate, b'st it was found that most of the witnesses had not arrived from attending the inquest at Hackney. Mrs Repsch, however, was in attendance, and she was accordingly reexamined by MrGAlard. She said, I recollect having a conversation with the prisoner about his wearing a new hat. He told me he had smashed his old one and thrown it into the dusthole, and that he had had the one then on (the ono supposed to belong to the late Mr Briggs) two months. My husband asked him what he paid for it, and he replied 14s. 6d. My husband said "Why th a t l oo k s more like a guinea hat." That is all I recollect about the hat. I remember about the end of last year his bringing a hat-box to our house. I cannot recollect whether it was in November or December. Ho said Mr Mathews had made him a present of the hat. He showed us the hat. The one produced (the hat found in the railway cair i age ) , I b el i eve to bo it. It had a stripped lining of white brown and blue with a small black and white edge. I gave a description of the hat to the police before it was shown to me. Mr Flower—You had seen it often, I presume ? Witness—Yea, sir. Mr Giefard—The prisoner used to put his lettere into hls hat ? Witness—Yes; he used to place them underneath the linisg. Mr Beard (prisoner's actorney)—Have you ever seen him do that ? Witness—Yes. The witness, in continuation, said, when the prisoner showed him the chain, he said he purchased it when he was going to take his passage ticket. He said he had but halt a crown Icft after paying for the chain and ring. I saw the prisoner on the 9th of July. To the best of my knowledge ne had then a pair of dark trousers on—a green and black mixture. He had had them but a very short time. His coat was merely a plain morning coat. There was nothing peculiar about the collar of it. I think it was of cloth, but I don't distinctly remember. I have seen him wear other coats beside that ene. I recollect one with a velvet collar. Mr Beard—When did this conversation take place about the hat ? Witness—On the Monday morning when he showed me the chain. I will not swear the prisoner wore the dark trousers on the Monday or the Tuesday prior to the 9th of July. I first heard of the railway outrage in the weak fol lowing—about Tuesday, to the best of my recollection. I also hoard there was a large reward offered for the discovery of the murderer. I never sa id anyt hing to the police about the murder until two gentl emen came to me. When the prisoner went away, h e h a d near l y a new pair of boo t s. I know he has had a coat, b u t I did no t s ee it. Mr Giffard—How d o y ou k now h e had a new coat? Witness—l have heard the prisoner say so. Godfrey Ferdinand Repsch said—l saw the prisoner at my house on Saturday the 9th of July. He then wore a morning coat and dark trousers—brown and grey, any colour, every colour. (Laughter.) Mr Beard—Let that be taken down. Witness—l cannot say positively ; there was brown in the colour I know. I recollect tho priso'nor coming to my house OP the following Monday. He then wore a new hat. I said `•You've got a now hat." My missis also said to him "You ate very extravagant to have a new hat on." Prisoner said he had had the hat a couple of months. I told him it was a very good hat. I asked him what it cost, and he told me 14s Gd, and said it was a good hat and worth a guinea. He then wore a single-breasted coat and light trousers. He remained at my house that day till about 1 o'clock, but I saw him every day after until ho sailed for America. Mr Giffard—Dil you ever see the prisoner in thessdark trousers after the Saturday you speak of f Mr Beard—l object to your using the word " dark " trousers, the witness says they were all colours. Mr G.ffard--I don't wish to call them dark trousers if you object. Did you ever see the prisoner in the trousers he wore on the 9th of Jul 3' Witness--No. after that day ? Cross-examination continued—l know he had some new I clothes about two months before the conversation took place about the hat. I can't say I ever saw him again in the trousers he wore on the Saturday. When I had the conver sation with prisoner about the hat I never turned up the lining to see whether there was a name in it. Mr Giffard—What trousers had the prisoner on when you saw him on the Monday ? Witness—Light:ones. They are not the same he had on on the Saturday. What trousers had ho on on the Tuesday ? The same as he wore on the Monday—light ones: I cannot recollect what he wore on tho Wednesday, if you please. Jonathan Mathews , the cabman, was here recalled, and, in answer to Mr Beard, said—l cannot tell you h ow I was occupied on Saturday, the 9th of July. I cannot tell you ' recise than that a where I was on the night of thaoudayw.illlnwotilflourgndeterftoarketatoe 3 ,I.l‘ i T.: rri t Beard — Be ese sas srr .....da _ ___ l yßh a: vtiaa m said littleu st aorsef morecnto the particular, eaercltaarass tlore eanp witness, swear I was not in Edmonton or its neighbourhood that night.

He York. said he h s previous ha d tog comeAbout 4 o'clock, as the eh ldren were coming trom school, I got the tea ready. He made no observation about my husband. Ho said the firm (Messrs. Hodgkinson) was going to send him out, and that they were go ing to Pay h im £ l5O per annum. He d o i i r n e g e t t from oNe sv M said he should like to have his salary h a l f yearly. He said nothing more than that he had come to say good bye. I recollect ho said he bad met with an accident, and that the firm was paying the doctor during his illness. I paid him 3s. that day fur a small parcel of tea he brought mo a few weeks previously. My sister, Mrs Mabbs, was present when I paid him. Mr Flower— Was she present during the conversation, or only pert of the time. Witness—She came in just as we had done our tea, so she only heard part of the conversation. Examination continuod — M rs. Mabbs also paid her ls. 6d. Prisoner was then wearing a new albert chain. He took i t off and put it into my hand, and asked me what I thought of it. At first I thought it was not a good one, as the gold was so light, I told him I did not like it as well as his ola one, and ho replied "no chain is a Very nice one." Ho then attached the chainon his waistcoat and put his hand into his pocket; he took out a cardboard box and said " that is the box the chain was in," Ho gave it to my little girl. I saw the name of Death on it, and I remarked that he was a good jeweller. My little girl had the box playing with the whole of the afternoon. I also observed that he had a ring on his finger with a white cornelian atone, upon which a head was engraved. lie held out his hand for me to look at it, and said his father had sent it him from Ger many. I asked him if it was a family likeness, and he said it was not. He ,left our house about six in the even ing, and I walked some distance with him towards the om nibus. Prisoner walked slow and lame. I bade him good bye, and the prisoner then said he thought he should come on the following morning to see my husband. The next day, about half-past eight in the morning, my husband trod accidentally upon the little box. He made some observa tion as he picked up the box, and I then put it into a drawer. My husband came home on the Monday night following, about 10 o'clock at night, and I then gave the box to him. Mr. Flowers—Did prisoner say when ho had met with the accident. Witness—Yes. He said he met with the accident on the Nlonday previous to the Saturday, by a letter-cart mating over his foot at London Bridge. Cross-examined--I don't know that I owed the prisoner tnore than three shillings. I can swear that I don't owe him any more. I have been married to Mathews 12 years. John Henry Glass—l reside at 91, Henry-street, Hamp steadt-oa', and lam a tailor. lam in the employ of Mr. Hodgkinson. I have known the prisoner about four years. On Thursday the 12th of July he came to me in the shop, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and asked me if I would buy a watch. He showed mo a gold one. He said that he had also got a chain, but that it was in pawn for £l.- He told me he wanted money to go to America, and that was the reason ho asked me to purchase the watch and chain for £l, because he could then go abroad. I told him to come on the following Wednesday morning, which he did about 9 o'clock. We both went to the pawn broker's and redeemed the chain. It was at a shop kept by a Mr Barker. He afterwards went to Cox's, near Leicester square, and there the watch and chain were pawned by the prisoner for £4. The prisoner actually pawned the things. I took the ticket and he the money. It was pawned in m 1 name. I gave him 5s more for the ticket, so altogether I had advanced £lss, as I had to pay the money to take out the chain. We then parted, prisoner saying he was going to the London Docks to get a ticket for New York, and he should come and bid me good-bye before he went ; and he did so the same day about six o'clock in the evening. This was on the Wednesday following the 9th. Mr Gifford, of 4, Queen's-square, Finsbury, assistant to gessrs Grinnell, shipowners—They have an office at the North Quay of the London Dock, I open it about 9 in the morning. I recollect the prisoner coming there on the 13th of July last, about 11 o'clock in the morning. He asked the price of the passage to New York, and I told him £4. lie asked when the ship sailed, and I replied to morrow. He then went away. I was on duty at that office on the previous Monday. If any person came to inquire about a passage on that day I should have been sure to see him. Nothing had passed between us relative to the pas sage to:New York before the Wednesday. On that day he returned to our office about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and said, " I've come to pay my fare," and laid down £l, for which I gave a contract ticket. [The contract ticket pro duced is the one I delivered to the prisoner.] After this he wont away, but returned, to the best of my belief, about half-past 3, and brought his luggage. It consisted of three parcels—two large and one small. I took no tice of one—it was done np in canvas—and about 18 inches long and 9 wide. It did not appear to me to contain a hard substance. He had a box, bat I did not see it. He asked me to take charge of his parcels, but I refused. He then took them away, and I told him he would have to leave them with Smith, tho foreman of the docks. the next day the prisoner came to the vessel, the Victoria, and went aboard, and was so when she hauled away. She went into Shadwell Basin that afternoon, and on Friday morning she sailed. I went with her as far as Gravesend. The vessel went right on, with the prisoner on board. By Mr Beard—l am not alwa)s at the office, sometimes lam on board the ships. There is a German porter in the office who would answer inquiries during my absence. Mr Flower—Were you absent at all on the Monday ? Witness--I might have been called away. Mr Flower--Aad remained some time, I suppose ? Witness —Yes, sir. Thomas Bacon, assistant to Mr Cox, pawnbroker, pro duced a gold watch and chain pawned by the prisoner. [These were identified by the witness Glass as those he purchased.] The articles were pledged for £4. I took them in, but I cannot identify the prisoner as the person who pledged the articles. The watch and chain here spoken of were those belong ing to the prisoner, and not those stolen from the late Mr Briggs. Mr Digance—l am a hatter, and carry on business at the Royal Exchange. Mr Briggs was a customer of mine, and had been so for five and thirty years. I have made every hat he has worn during that period. I took an order from him in 1863. It was on the 24th of September—the parti culars are entered in my book. The hat was made expressly for him, and sent home a few days after. Mr. Giffsrd—Will you just look at the hat which has been cut down, Witness•--The list produced is a bell crowned hat, similar to that I supplied Mr Briggs with in 1803. I have com pared the measurement of the hat with the figure; entered in my book, and it corresponds in every particular. The hat when it was sent home wat found to be a trifle too large, and the next day Mr Briggs came into the shop, and I pasted apiece of tissue paper underneath the leather inside the hat. I find the piece of paper has been removed, but small fragments of it remain adhering to the hat, which clearly shows there had been tissue paper all round. The hat is now shorter than it was when it left my shop. It lira been out down from one inch to an inch and a half. It has not been done as a hatter would do it. It is very nicely done by an inexperienced hand. It is now stitched on. If a hatter had had to effect such an alteration he would have used a composition for such a purpose. When a hat is made to order we always put the name of the person for whom it is made inside it, just by the band. The place where I should have placed it in the hat now before me is gone with the part which has been cut off. Mr William Thorne is the name of the person who actually manufactured the hat. By ➢lr Beard—lt is not an unusual thing to put tissue paper inside hats. 'When the hat is too large at the side we place tissue paper in that part. I never saw the hat after I put the paper inside until it was shown to me. We sometimes give the old hats left at our shop away. The hat now in my hand is a genuine hat. Mr Giff.ird—You have the hat now in your hand ; will ycu swear that it is the one you made for ➢ir Briggs. Witness—l will not undertake to swear that if the pieces that has been cut away were here I could then say whether or no. Mr Beard—Or, I suppose, you mean to say it would en able you to speak more positively. Witness—Yes. Frederick William Thorne—l am a hat manufacturer. I made the hat now put into my hand. It has my private mark inside. I furnished the hat for Mr Digance. Mr Giflard—ls it in the same state now as when you furnished it. Witness—Certainly not; it has been cut down, Mr Giffard—ls the work doneas havea hatter would do it ? Witness—No; a hatter would and varnish, The s h or t en i ng of the h at used n mi o w e o he is fo o re i m i o n e had been sewed round, and not done in any respect like a a workman would effect such an alteration, Mr Flowers—Do you think the sewing is nea tly done ? Witness—Yes, sir, I should say it is very neatly done. Mr Samuel Titmarsh—l reside at Church - street, Hackney, and am a watchmaker. I knew the late Mr Briggs as a customer for the last seven or eight years. The witness here examined the watch handed to him by Inspec tor Tanner with his glass, and immediately afterwards he said—l now know that this watch was the property of the late Mr Briggs. I had the watch to clean on the 6th of February, 1863, on which occasion I made some figures inside the case which still remain there. Mr Thomas Fishbourno, of Lucas•street, Commercial road—l am a ticket collector at the Fenchurch-street station of the Blackwall Railway. I attend at the bottom of the stairs leading to the North London Railway trains. I knew the late Mr Briggs by sight. I saw him on Satur day night, the 9th of July, at a quarter to ten. He spoke to me. Mr Giffard—Do you recollect what he said ? Mr Beard—l must object to that, Mr Giffard—lt is immaterial, and therefore I shall not press it. Witness --My attention was called to the outrage on the Sunday afternoon. I then went to Bow with Sergeant Lambert, and from thence to Mr Briggs's house at Hackney. Police-constable 71 It said—l was on duty in Wick-lane, Bow, on the 9th of July last. I heard a cry of a man on the line. I afterwards saw several persons carry the body of a gentleman to the Mitford Arms. I searched the body. I found the shirt much disordered. There was a black stud in it. There were £1 and some keys in one of the pockets, but I have returned the keys to the bank. In the right hand trousers pocket was 8s in silver, and in the side pocket various letters and papers, by which I was enabled to ascertain who he was. The gentleman had a diamond ring on the small finger of the left hand. There was a new sort of watch -fastening on one of the waistcoat button-holes, but as I did not know how to get it out I left it there. I have measured the spot at which the body was found, and I found it is 1,431 yards from Bow station, and 740 from the Hackney Wick station, The entire distance from Bow to Hackney Wick is 1 mile 414 yards. The Court hero adjourned for ten minutes. On the reassembling of the Court, Benjemin Haines was called—He said, I am a guard on the North London Railway. I was the guard of the train that left Fenchurch - street at 9 50 p.m. on the 9th of July last. The train was live minutes late at starting. The same train goes add returns at that hour. On our return. ing to Hackney in ab )ut half a minute after the train had stopped, my attention was called to a first-class carriage near the engine. I got my lamp from the break soon, and when I got back I found the gentleman waiting who had first called my attention to the carriage. When I saw the carriage first the door was open, and I found blood on the near side cushion, and saw blood also trickling down the glass win dow. The handle of the off side door had blood on it. The door was fast. I know the handle had blood on it, because when I touched it I felt a dampness on my hand, which on getting to the light I found to be blood. I found the hat, bag, and walking-stick in the carriage. left them there, locked the carriage up, telegraphed to Chalk Farm, and on arrival there I saw Mr. Greenwood, I pointed out the carriage to him, and gave him possession of the articles. I then proceeded to Bow, where the carriage was placed in a shed, where it now remains. It has never been used since. The train on that evening took three minutes and a half to run from Bow to Hackney Wick. Mr Greenwood, station-master at the Chalk Farm station of the North London Railway—On the night of the 9th of July the last witness showed the interior of a first-crass carriage of the train of which he was the guard. I took the hat, bag, and walking stick therefrom, and delivered them to the police the next Morning. Inspector kerressey, of the K division of police—On the 10th July, about nine in the morning, I went to the Bow station and there I saw a first class carriage, No. 16/ I observed the ban Ile of the door of the off side was bloody, I then went to No 5, Clapton-square, and saw Mr Briggs. I examined his hands cartfully to ascertain whether there were marks of blood thereon. I found none. I noticed a hook on Mr Briggs's waistcoat, which was taken off by Mr Briggs, jun , and deliver2d to me. I now produce it. I also produce the gold chain Mr Death ideatifiis. I re ceived it from that gentleman. I also got a smaller ring, which I produce, from Sergeant Prescott. By Mr Beard— I first saw Mr Briggs about nine o'clock on the morning of Sunday the 10th. Mr Francis Toulmin—l reside at Lower Clapton, and I am a surgeon. I was the medical attendant of the late Mr Briggs. I was called to him on Sunday morning, 10th of July,•between two and three o'clock. He was then lying at the Mitford public-house. He was removed under my superintendence from there to his own house between six and eight o'clock in the morning. 1 saw him again at his own house at nine. I saw him repeatedly during the day on which he died. He expired about a quarter to 11 on Sunday night. I afterwards made a post mortem examina tion of the body on the 12th. Mr Brereton and other medical men were present. On the left ear was a jagged wound which divided the cartlidge. Anterior to that was a deep wound nearer the eyebrow, which penetrated to the bone, but which was subsequently found not to have entered the cavity of the cranium, On his scalp were several incised wounds, most of them about three quarters of au inch in length. Mr Flower—When you say several, do you know how many there were ? Witness—Four of five, one was three inches in length. On removing the scalp the skull was found to be exten sively fractured, the fissures extending in various directions. The temporal bone was found driven in and comminuted. Blood was found in considerable quantity between the dare mater and the brain. No disease was discovered. The heart, lungs, and liver were quite healthy. Mr Giffard— What was the cause of death ? IVitnesa—Fracture of the skull and concussion of tho brain. Mr Gifflrd—Cculd you form any opinion how the injuries were inflicted ? . . . Witaess—l should say they were inflicted with a blunt instrument forcibly used. By Mr Beard—Mr Briggs was moved by my direction from the Mitford Arms in a dhoolie, or kind of ambulance. I don't know that the medical gentlemen who were present at the post-mortem disagree with me in my conclusion. There was grit about the -wound on the ear. My attention was not drawn to a stone on the six-foot way. I did not try whether that stone fitted into any of the marks on the head of deceastd. Mr Gt;ffard—lf the blows had been struck in the carriage and the blood had fl )wed would not grit adhere if the body had fallen from the carriage ? Witness—Yes. Mr Beard—Might not the wound on the temple be caused by the stone referred to ? Witness—Certainly, if the deceased in falling from the carriage struck on the stone it might produce the wound I have referred to. _ _ Mr Giffard—Supposing the wound on the temple was made with the stone, would that cause the other wounds you found on the head. Witness—Certainly not. That would be simply im possible. By Mr Beard—l read my post mortm notes over to Mr Breretcn and Mr Ihoper, and no direct exception was taken to them by either of those gentlemen. I did not ask either of them to sign nay notes. I read it over to them and they made no objection to them. I don't know that they dis agree with my conclusions. Nlr Alfrad Breroton, surgeon, said—l saw the late Mr Briggs previous to his death. I went to the spot where Nlr Briggs was found lying, and there I found the gravel moistened with blool. About the spot we found a round st:.,ne in the centre of the blood stain. The stone had blood and hair upon it. Mr Cooper has that stone in his possession. I afterwards examined a first-class railway carriage at the Bow station. The witness hero gave a doseri,,tion of the interior of the railway carriage, which was precisely similar to that given by the railway guard. Mr Giffard—Did you take any part in the post mortem examination ? Witness—No. _ . . Mr Gifford—Did you observe it sufficiently to speak to the cause of death ? Witness Yes. Mr Gifford—What, in your judgment, was the cause of death ? Witness—Fracture of the skull producing compression of the brain. Mr Flower—Upon which side of the carriage was the greatest quantity of blood ? Witness—On the near side, that is the seat next to the engine. The blood filled up the cavities made in the cushion by the buttons. Inspector Tanner, of the detective policc—l have the conduct of this matter by direction from Sir R. Mayne. On the 19th of July last I left London in company with Sergeant Clark, for New York. When the Victoria arrived there on the 25th of August, I found the prisoner on board. I placed him with nine other men in the saloon of the ship, leaving 111 r Death on the deck. That gentleman went below and pointed out the prisoner, and said " This is the man from whom I received the chain." I afterwards, on the same morning, spoke to the prisoner relative to a ring. I had told him I was an officer ha the police force in Lon don, and I held a warrant charging him with the murder of Mr Briggs, That he was about to undergo an exami nation in America, but that ultimately he would have to go to England with me as a prisoner to answer the charge. I then said "Have you stated that you have lost a ring ?" " Yes, sir, not lost it, but it must have been stolen from my pocket." I asked what sort of a ring it was, as I would endeavour to have it found. He said "A gold ring, with a white stone in it, with a head engraved on it. I bought it in Cheapside. I gave 7s, GI, for it, but I don't know the name of the shop." The ring was not found. I took pos session of the prisoner's effects on board the Victoria. I heard the witness Giffard describe one of the parcels brought by the prisoner to the decks previous to the sailing of the ship. I have been unable to discover anything of that kind, Prisoner said all his things were in a black box, which on opening was found to be about a quarter full. Mr Beard—l suppose there will be no objection to grant • ing us an examination of the letters and papers found in the prisoner's box. Mr Giffard- -I cannot give any promise of that kind at present, but I have no doubt every opportunity will be given to the gentlemen conductinA. the defence. Mr Giffard—That, sir, forms the-whole of the evidence lintend to offer on the present occasion, and on it I ask you to commit the prisoner for trial. Mr Beard—l shall offer no opposition to such n course. I shell reserve the defence of the prisoner until a future occasion. Mr Flower (to prisoner)—As a mere matter of form, I ask you if you have anything to sa y a g ainst being com mitted for trial. You have s legal adviser, and therefore you abide by what he says; but I ask the question as a mere matter of form. Prisoner —I have nothing to say now, sir. The whole of the witnesses were then formally bound over to appear at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, to which place the prisoner was fully committed on charge of wilful murder. The prisoner during the whole of the five hours' exami nation conducted himself with the greatest coolness and se lf-possession; . so much so, indeed, that it created the utmost surprise in the mind of every person in court, CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS, The following telegram has been received at Mr Reuter's office from the Peninsular and Oriental steam Navigation Company : MARSEILLES, SBPT. 26. The Euxine, with the above mails, arrived here at 10 a.m. to-day. The mails will leave for London at 11.30 a.m. THE INQUEST-THIS DAY. This mulling Mr Humphreys, the coroner for East Middlesex, resumed the inquiry touching the death of MI Briggs, alleged to have been murdered on the 9th of July on the North London Railway. Although so early an hour as 8 o'clock was fixed for the commencement of the pro- ceedings, a large crowd assembled outside the Hackney Town-hall, in the hope of catching a glimpse of Mul er, who. it had been arranged, would be in attendance for the purpose of hearing read over the evidence which had been taken on previous days. The inquest room was densely crowded. Precisely at 8 o'clock Muller was brought lab o the ic quest room in custody of Inspector Tanner. Ile was brought from the House of Detention in the prison van, and on reaching the Town-hall he was received with lout execra • tions. On entering the inquest room he at once entered into earnest conversation with Mr Beard, his solicitor, on whose application witnesses were ordered out of court. George Blythe said that Muller lodged in his house. Ho saw him on Saturday, the 9th July. On the following day they walked out together. He wore the dress he had been in the habit of wearing. He recognised Muller in Court. By Mr Beard—He wore the same clothes on Sunday as he had worn on Saturday. By a Juror—He did not know whether he had any change of linen. Mrs Blythe, who was examined on a previous occasion, was recalled, and identified Muller. She said ho had six new shirts when he left. Matthews the cabman, Mrs Matthews, Haifa, Sergeant Clarke, Inspector Tanner, and Mr John Death identified Muller es the person to whom they had referred in their evidence. Mr T. Briggs said his father usually wore his necktie in a bow, and at the time of the occurrence he wore a mourning band on his hat, He believed that the hat which had been produced and inspected was his father's. The Coroner said this was the evidence on which he should wish the jury to consider their verdict. The inquiry had extended over several days, and possibly some of it might have escaped their recollection. The Coroner then prom ded to road the testimony of the various witnesses, commencing with that of Mr Thomas Briggs, Muller lis tened with marked attention to the evidence, and several times made remarks to Mr Beard on the subject of it. It will be remembered that Mrs Buchanan, the niece of the deceased, said in the course of her evidence that she knew a person who had asked her uncle for a loan, which had been refused. That person had declared he would do her uncle an injury. This evidence seemed particularly- to at tract Muller's attention, who evinced much astonishment while it was being read. On arriving at the evidence of Mr Leigh, who stated that he saw two persons in the carriage with the deceased en the night of the murder, that gentleman, at the request of the jury was recalled, and in answer to questions, said he could net identify Muller AS3 one of those persons. A juror suggested that Muller might put on the hat, which was found in the carriage. Muller put on the hat an d stood up, but Mr Leigh could not identify him. Mr Beard—Can you describe the two men you saw in the carriage ? Mr Leigh —The man who rat by the Bide of Mr Briggs SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. CITY BETTING—This DAY.

"TUE GREAT WizAßD".—Professor Anderson, so well known throughout the world as the " Wizard of the North," continues nightly, at St. James's Hall, to unfold his " World of Magic" to overflowing audiences. His mysterious art is peas fectly astounding; and, as handkerchiefs are torn up, rings broken, watches transported from one side of the hall to the other, water turned into wine, and vice versa, the wonder of the beholder is worked up to a pitch impossible to describe. We are glad to see that, with his characteristic liberality, the Professor reirposes devot in g a portion of the Hall every Saturday to the children of the different charity and other schools in London. The boys of the Chelsea Military Sch ool, with their unique band, are to have the privilege next Saturday, whi c h w i ll be a great attraction. We have no doubt the little fellows will enjqy greatly the treat in store for them, and will also contribute, in no small degree, with their musical talent, to the delight of the other visitors to the " Magic Hall." Accommodation will, we understand, be provided for about 330 boys and girls; and we would recommend managers of schools, who wish to take advantage of this very laudable and generous offer, to apply at once to the managing director, Mr. A. Nimmo, who w ill give all information as to the date and regulation for the reception of eac school. LORD BROUGLIAIII.—Mr Soseplf, Wilkinson, of Bonscale, Ullswater, a veteran politician, who formerly took great interest in the election contests of Lord Brougham in Westmortland, has just erected a stone pillar upon the mountain calk(' lialle, in commemoration of the BGth birthday of the noble and venerable peer, The mountain on which the memorial stands commands a beautiful view of the lake of U Ilswater and its surroundings. The pillar is 12 feet high, and is conspicuous enough to be se.m from Cross Fell with the aid of a glass. appeared to be a tall man with whiskers, but I only saw him for a moment. Mr Beard—Had he dark whiskers ? Mr Leigh—Yes. I think so. (Muller has scarcely any whiskers, and what he has are very light.) Mr Beard—Describe the other man? Mr Leigh—He was a slighter man with light whiskers. Mr Beard—About what age ? Mr Leigh—l cannot say. In answer to a juryman, Mr Leigh said he could not tell whether the man had dark or light whiskers, or whether he had any whiskers at all, as he oaly saw him fora moment. Mr and Mrs Repsch were called and identified Muller as the person they had referred to in their evidence. The Coroner having finished the evidence, cautioned Muller in the usual way, and asked him his name and age ? He said his name was Franz Muller, and that ho was 24 years of ago. The Coroner asked him whether be had anything to say or any ques!ions to put to the witnesses who had been examined ? Muller—l have nothing to say now. The Coroner said that under those circumstances th?pri- Boner might ha removed from the euurt. He we.: then con veyed away in the prison van amidst loud yells from the crowd. When order had been restored, The Coroner then commented upon the evidence, tracing the deceased from the hou se a t P eckham, whore he had dined, until the time he was found on the railway. Adverting to the medical evidence, he said it was clear that sowe of the injuries from which Mr Briggs suffered were caused by blows, while others were occasioned by the ft;l from the carriage, With regard to two persons being in the carriage with Mr Briggs when Mr Leigh saw him, he did not attach much importance to it, as there was ample time fo.z either of the persona to get out. He next commented upon the discovery of the hat, the exchange of the chain, &c., at Mr Death's, and the confirmatory eNi3ence which was supplied on Muller's capture by the officers of jus. tice. At the same time, they must remember that Muller had a fortnight previously announced his intention of going to America; but then, again, he had nit sufficient money to pay his passage, which accounted for his desire to possess it. Looking at all the circumstances, ho thought the jury could not come to any other conclusion than that Mr Briggs died from violence, and it would be for them to say whether the evidence was sufficient to connect any person with the murder, for it was either a murder or nothing. The jury retired, and, after an absence of 20 minutes, returned and found—" That the deceased died from the effects of great violence administered in a railway carriage on the night of the 0,11 cf July last, and that Francis Muller is the person by whom the murder wag committed. The jury, while passing their verdict, take this opportunity of expressing their disapprobation at the present state of railway accommodation as affording facilities for the perpetration of various crimes and offences, and earnestly desire to call the attention of tho Home Go vernment to the subject, and to the necessity,of enforcing the adoption by railway companies of some more efficient system of protection to life, character, and property." The Coroner then made out his warrantifor the committal of Muller. SECOND EDITION. ►b UN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK.
